I don't have a problem with reporting what was said. It's up to us to recognize the stupidity of the speakers, no??

Otherwise... we ask the AP to tell us how shocked we should be? That's not good either. What am I missing?

The definition of "White Supremecist", a counter-argument from someone outside KKK, historical context, etc. All missing.

The goal of reporting is to foster understanding of the events of our world. This isn't reporting. It's stenography.

BTW: I'm from the "interview everyone; understand everything" school. Just not for this level of unreflective, contextless stenography.

@mattyglesias I read the whole AP article, and it calls out the KKK for its lies as effectively as any non-editorial ever could. -
Trouble is that "disavowing" supremacy and claiming it's just separatist has been the KKK line its whole history.
